The 67th Grammy Awards are being held today in Los Angeles, hosted for the fifth consecutive year by Trevor Noah. This year's event is especially significant as it honors the victims of the recent wildfires that devastated parts of California.

Despite the catastrophic events, the Grammys proceeded without delay, reflecting the music community's resilience and support for those affected. The ceremony aims to raise funds for relief efforts while celebrating the achievements in music over the past year. Follow our live coverage as we bring you the latest updates from the event.

Key Events

Kendrick Lamar has made a strong start at the 67th Grammys, winning three awards during the Premiere Ceremony for his hit "Not Like Us." He secured titles for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video, and he is up for a total of seven awards tonight, including Record of the Year.

Not far behind is Charli XCX, who has also claimed three Grammy wins tonight, with accolades for Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best Dance Pop Recording for her song "Von Dutch," and Best Recording Package. Alt-rock artist St. Vincent matched Charli’s tally, winning three awards for her album "All Born Screaming." Additionally, Sabrina Carpenter has picked up a pair of awards, including Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Remixed Recording. The legendary Beatles took home the award for Best Rock Performance.

Performances to Look Forward To

Expect thrilling performances throughout the night from notable artists including Charli XCX and Billie Eilish, both of whom made significant waves in the recent Hottest 100 countdown. The lineup of performers also includes Sabrina Carpenter, Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, and Shakira.

In a heartfelt tribute, a collaboration will honor the late Quincy Jones featuring significant artists such as Cynthia Erivo, Lainey Wilson, and Stevie Wonder. A special segment will also pay tribute to the Los Angeles community affected by the wildfires, featuring performances by Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and John Legend.

A Different Tone This Year

This year's Grammys carry a different sentiment. The ceremony has been restructured to focus on supporting the victims of the devastating fires that have ravaged homes and lives in the area. With more than 14,000 structures lost and numerous lives impacted, the Recording Academy is emphasizing unity and support through music.

Several preliminary events leading up to the Grammys were either downsized or canceled. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. stated the importance of holding the event as a sign of solidarity during tough times, noting that cancelling would not aid those who need help.

Besides the awards, the Academy has committed over $4 million to assist those in the music sector and has already distributed $2 million in emergency aid. The ceremony serves as a platform to generate more donations as the night progresses, with frequent references to its charitable purpose throughout the broadcast.
